On Tuesday 12 June Room 5 visited Orakei marae. We went on the bus which was really exciting! When we arrived there was a powhiri. We had to take off our shoes to go into the wharenui. We looked at all the Maori art work and copied some kowhaiwhai and tukutuku patterns.
The children enjoyed their morning at the marae:
Maisie: "I loved the tikis and I saw the Maori canoe which was used for fishing."
Alex: "I liked the patterns of the Maori carvings."
Harrison: "There was a huge canoe with paddles. Lots of people can sit in it."
Anya: "I liked doing the patterns."
Maalika: "I liked looking around the marae and I had my morning tea ("kai") in the eating house."
